Digital humanities for the XXI Century MuseumBest practices, networks, and accessibility

Resumen

In the contemporary sphere, museums have transcended their traditional role as mere repositories and exhibitors of cultural heritage. They have metamorphosed into bastions of exploration, where not only new perspectives of knowledge are sought. Interaction with works of art engenders a personal symphony of memories, emotions and enlightenment that is seamlessly woven into the fabric of culture. In deft response, the nascent field of Digital Humanities unfolds before art museums a landscape of opportunity where a unique juncture presents itself to dismantle prevailing social disparities between audiences and enrich the kaleidoscope of cultural enterprises. This volume delves into their fabric, recounts the odyssey of some museum bastions and illuminates their trajectories in recent years, a journey that weaves the fabric of their present and the tapestry of their tomorrow.
